Welcome to Wales Today, our top story: April Jones's killer Mark | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Bridger has dropped his bid to overturn his whole life prison | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
sentence. Our other headlines tonight: How do | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
we get more doctors to come and work here? Plaid Cymru's plan to pay off | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
medical students' debts. Jailed for stealing from her friends | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
who thought they were paying into a Christmas savings club. We were all | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
really close friends, it was really close-knit community. We all lived | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
within a stone 's throw of each other. She broke our trust as a | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
friend. In tonight's sport: Time for cool | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
heads. Both Cardiff and Swansea feeling the pressure but determined | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
to move out of trouble near the bottom of the table. | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
And look what washed up on bottom of the table. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |

Good evening. Mark Bridger, the man convicted of murdering | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Good evening. Mark Bridger, the man against his whole life sentence. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Good evening. Mark Bridger, the man Bridger was jailed last year for | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
abducting and murdering five-year-old April in Machynlleth. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
He had been planning to lodge an appeal later this month. Our | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
reporter, Charlotte Dubenskji is in Machynlleth tonight. | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
Good evening. April's parent has been told that decision. I spoke to | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
one of April's sisters who said their mother does want to comment on | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
the news. We have heard from April's Rand further who said that | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
as a weight off their minds. It is a big relief. April Jones was just | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
five years old when her young life was snatched away. She was playing | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
near her home on an estate in Machynlleth when she was abducted in | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
2012. Last year, Mark Bridger was jailed for her abduction and | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
murder. He was given a whole life sentence. He sought permission to | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
appeal against that tariff but today the judicial office has confirmed | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
that application has been dropped. April's family say they are | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
relieved. Somebody who doesn't crime like that should not be allowed to | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
appeal. I think they should lose the rights. A whole life should mean a | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
whole life. I know there is different circumstances but in a | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
crime like this, he has taken a life so he should pay with his own. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
April's disappearance rock this community became the Eggers police | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
search in British history. The community of Machynlleth pull | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
together to look for the little girl and hundreds of volunteers from | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
across the country also joined in the search. But remains have never | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
been found. Mark Bridger will now stay behind bars for the rest of his | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
life. The community here hope they can now draw a line under what | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
happened. That is something geeky amenity here | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
really want to do. Nobody wants to forget -- that is what the community | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
here want to do. Nobody wants to forget what happened. There is a | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
pink ribbon below the clock to remember April Jones. She will | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
always live in the hearts and minds of people in this community and in | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
communities across Wales. Junior doctors who work in Wales | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
could have their student debts paid off if they take up posts where | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
there's a shortage of recruits. off if they take up posts where | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
Cymru. The party says if it were power, it would attract a thousand | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
new doctors paying for them with a new tax on fizzy drinks. | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Hospital reorganisation is new tax on fizzy drinks. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
spotlight across Wales. But would more doctors mean we don't have to | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
centralise services? more doctors mean we don't have to | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
says if it got into power it would pay off the debts of junior doctors | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
who agree to stay in Wales for a certain period of time. Would that | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
encourage more to work here when they qualify? Money is certainly an | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
issue for these Cardiff Medical School students. I think medical | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
students and the huge amounts of financial pressures. For new | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
students, fees being ?9,000 a year and having to contented longer | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
terms, travel costs which can be extensive. If the worst governments | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
are going to pay off most of the zone it is a consideration would | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
consider. Opponents think a Plaid Cymru plan | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
to pay for a thousand doctors with a tax on a litre of sugary drinks | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
doesn't add up. We know the problems outweigh the recruitment of doctors | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
and that we have the reconfiguration progress. The idea we could fund | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
core NHS services by what is effectively a tangled tax, really, I | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
think it reduces its simple as it do. The salary costs would be around | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
?65 million. We would look to either pay for it within the NHS budget and | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
reallocate within the NHS budget all we would lock at using new tax | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
powers. Plaid says it would also guarantee | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
medical training for Welsh speakers, if they meet the entry requirements. | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
It says cutting paperwork would make the NHS more attractive to recruits. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
It wants to protect training for post-graduates and suggests hiring | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
foreign doctors, including trainees from developing countries. A lot of | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
GPs in some areas of Wales are getting to the end of their careers | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
and we have an impending recruitment crisis for general practice as a | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
result. The NHS says a shortage of doctors isn't the only reason for | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
hospital reorganisation. They say some specialist treatments have to | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
be centralised to make sure doctors see enough patients. But the | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
politicians know that can be a bitter pill for the public to | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
swallow. Daniel, has there been a response | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
from within the NHS to Plaid Cymru's proposals? Those students you saw in | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
my reports, they may be interested in any offer to pay the debts the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
aromatic but the Wales deanery, one of the bodies responsible for | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
medical training, says it sounds like an expensive off at a time when | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
men that money is tight. It says it is much more important to | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
concentrate on that -- -- experienced doctors have because | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
that'll be a bigger factor in persuading them to stay. Hospital | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
reorganisation stays at the top of the agenda. We were | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
reorganisation stays at the top of on hospitals before Christmas. They | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
reorganisation stays at the top of in this place in | :07:13. | :07:12. | |
over. Police are continuing | :07:13. | :07:22. | |
Gwent Valleys. Ian Davies, who was 27 and from Trinant, was taken to | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
hospital with a wound to his body on Saturday night but later died. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Tests on Briwet bridge which crosses the Dwyryd estuary near | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
Penrhyndeudraeth have revealed it's unsafe and will remain closed. The | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
150-year-old wooden structure was shut to traffic in December | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
following concerns it had become unstable. A new bridge is being | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
built there which, its hoped, will open for cars and trains in the | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
spring. A mother of four who stole nearly | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
?8,000 of Christmas savings from her friends and neighbours has been | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
jailed for 18 months. Joanne Jones, from Treharris, stole from 18 people | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
who'd paid money into the Park Group Christmas Savings Scheme. Nick Palit | :08:02. | :08:11. | |
reports. 19 people in the village of | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
Treharris had been paying into the Park Savings Club, a few pounds | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
every week since last January to ease the cost of Christmas presents. | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
But in August, as the festive season drew closer, it became apparent that | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
their Park agent hadn't been passing on their cash to the company. Today, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
some of those who lost out, attended court to see the woman who'd stolen | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
from them jailed. We were all really close friends, it was a really | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
close-knit community. We lived within a stone 's throw from each | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
other. She broke our trust as a friend. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
36-year-old mother of four, Joanne Jones, pleaded guilty to stealing | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
their money. In court her legal team said she was a victim of domestic | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
violence and was under pressure from an alcoholic husband. I do feel | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
sorry for them but she got what she deserved. She should not have stolen | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
off everybody. With the loss of ?7,700, many of those who'd been | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
saving were sick with worry. One family had lost ?1,300, others a | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
couple of hundred, all feared their children would have a miserable | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
Christmas as a result. But the community of Treharris rallied round | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
and fundraising events managed to replace some of the missing cash. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Outside court today, Joanne Jones' mother said her daughter was | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
extremely sorry. Chuan put her hands up, that is it. She's doing her time | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
and God help her, she will not do it again. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Park co-operated with the police inquiry and in a statement said they | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
make every effort to help customers on the extremely rare occasions such | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
as this. Sentencing Chuan Jones to months, the judge said this was a | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
disgraceful reach of trust which cause stress and anxiety to people | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
who took out these accounts. Of the 19 players they were family members | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
and friends and their Christmas was 19 players they were family members | :10:03. | :10:08. | |

Families of patients at two hospitals in Bridgend and Port | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
Talbot have accused the Health Minister of going back on a promise | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
to review past standards of care. Last October it was announced the | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Princess of Wales and Neath Port Talbot Hospitals would be reviewed | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
after the death of 82-year-old Lilian Williams. India Pollock | :10:37. | :10:48. | |
reports. Lillian Williams was, according to her family, independent | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
and full of life. When she needed hospital treatment she suffered | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
multiple failings in care. This video filmed by her family shows | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
medication scattered round her hospital bed and she was sedated | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
against her family 's wishes. Last October the health Minister said he | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
was commissioning in Independence review into standards of care at the | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
hospitals as a result of a meeting with Mrs Williams family. But then | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
e-mail from Professor June Andrews states, | :11:25. | :11:40. | |
the review, if it does not look back, will not be able to establish | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
the reasons why things have gone so badly wrong in those hospitals over | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
a number of years. The review must look back to learn lessons from the | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
past so those lessons will never be repeated again. Patients have | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
suffered, they have come to harm, they have suffered indignities | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
beyond belief. That is wrong. His concerns have been echoed by the | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
charity, action against medical accidents. The experience with | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
patients and families will have no place in this review and that is | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
simply not satisfactory. We need to get to the bottom of why these | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
serious failings in these hospitals took place in the first place. We | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
need to learn lessons from the past, that is a basic principle of | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
basic patient safety. The health minister was asked about the remade | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
today. There is nothing to prevent Professor Andrews from looking into | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
standards of care in the past where she feels that is what she needs to | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
do. I have been clear that is no point in me and establishing an | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
independent enquiry and then trying to tell the person doing the enquiry | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
exactly how they should go about it. But in a statement this evening, the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
last government says it is likely the review will cover the period of | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
Lillian Williams's care but whether that'll be enough to reassure the | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Williams family remains to be seen. The former leader of the Welsh | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
Conservatives has The former leader of the Welsh | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
Bourne of Aberystwyth told Wales Today | :13:23. | :13:23. | |
Our parliamentary correspondent, with | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
Our parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock is here. This has been | :13:29. | :13:38. | |
prompted by a letter sent to the Prime Minister by almost 100 of his | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
own MPs at the weekend in which those MPs call for Westminster to be | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
able to veto EU laws they don't like. Whether they be on energy or | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
social policy. That has provoked Nick Bourne to a strong response. He | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
says those MPs have got their priorities wrong. He says the | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Conservatives will not win the election by being UK like in terms | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
of its approach is. He says they should drop what he calls an | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
obsession that isn't shared by other voters. If you look at the last 20 | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
years, the Conservative Party when it has and on about Europe has lost | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
elections. Its second -- finish second to the Labour Party. The only | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
time we beat Labour was in 2010 when we did not bang on about Europe. | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
What do those MPs have to say? They say they are helpful to a Prime | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
Minister who has promised to hold the referendum on British membership | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
in the EU. Of the 96 also MPs, Glyn Davies has been talking to us. He | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
says he hopes that this letter he has signed will help the Prime | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
Minister in his renegotiation of Britain's membership of the EU. I am | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
not obsessing about it. But it is an issue people cared about. The people | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
of Britain and Wales have decided they want to have a say whether for | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
or against it. It is but the relationship with the EU on the | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
agenda. The Prime Minister does not think he is being helpful. He thinks | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
the Conservative position of having a referendum, if they win the next | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
election, is enough and Conservatives should concentrate on | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
other issues. Nick Bourne is echoing comments made by David Cameron in | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
the past about his party in a non-about Europe but in politics | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
everything comes around again. Two historic cannon have been | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
uncovered on a beach in Porthcawl after the recent storms. They're | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
thought to be around 200 years old and were found by walkers on Pink | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
Bay after high tides shifted the sand. Porthcawl Museum will now | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
carry out research and preservation work so they can be put on display. | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
There was a true work so they can be put on display. | :16:10. | :16:22. | |
Bristol to a -- Ireland in 18 50. They got lost. We saw preserve them | :16:23. | :16:24. | |

chemicals. At the moment, as you can see, the in sea water. We have to | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
put his back in sea water. There used to be one on every high | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
street but now a UK heritage charity is warning that more should done to | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
protect Wales' oldest cinemas. It says many of those that still | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
survive are at risk of collapse or demolition. | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
In Wales, the 1920s and '30s saw a golden age in cinema-going and | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
cinema building. Picture houses appeared up and down the country. | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
Every town had at least one. In Port Talbot, the jewel in the crown was | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
the Art Deco Plaza Cinema. It's still there today, a Grade II listed | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
building that now stands derelict and boarded up. According to the | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
charity that safeguards UK cinemas, old picture palaces in Wales, like | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
this one, are being needlessly neglected. Once these buildings are | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
gone, they are gone. It is worth saving these buildings because a lot | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
of them have disappeared in the last ten years. You have got a case down | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
the road from here in Bridgend where the Embassy Cinema was demolished | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
needlessly in our opinion because it was a perfectly adaptable building | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
and in very good condition. There are many others that are under | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
threat of demolition. Wales used to have hundreds of | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
cinemas, there are now fewer than 60. Many local picture houses were | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
forced to close when multiplexes arrived in the nineties. And | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
cinema-going itself has always gone through peaks and troughs. Many of | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
the old cinemas are converted into being goals. That meant the | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
buildings themselves were in use. But bingo halls themselves are now | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
facing tough times. This one has already closed it stores. Across the | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
country many of our historic palaces phase and uncertain future from the | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
Castle Cinema in Swansea to the Palace in Conwy. In the village of | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
Nantymoel in the Ogmore Valley, the community had converted an old | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
working men's hall into a cinema. Last summer, it was demolished by | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
Bridgend Council who said the building had deteriorated beyond | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
repair and was a health and safety risk. Local groups argued otherwise. | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
It was terrible to see such a wonderful loving, such a history, | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
just literally having the life torn out of it. You can save the life of | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
the community was going with it. But there are examples of classic | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
cinemas being saved and brought back to life as successful businesses. | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
cinemas being saved and brought back Peter Davies owns the Coliseum | :19:15. | :19:17. | |

Preserving the past is a costly business. Back in Port Talbot, the | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
council says it's working hard to find the money to save the Plaza. | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
But the fact remains that the longer these old cinemas remain empty, the | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
more they deteriorate and no amount of movie magic will bring them back | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
to life. Time now for the sport news with | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
Claire. Good evening. Only a fortnight into | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
the New Year and we're already talking about the fight to remain in | :20:11. | :20:14. | |

remaining upbeat saying the next few games are crucial to ensuring | :20:22. | :20:30. | |

hands. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Michael Laudrup note this is a vital | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
period, their teams and on the wrong end of the table. Cardiff city 's | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
defeat at West Ham was not in the script on the script, managers home | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
debut. West Ham were supposed to be there for the taking but they came | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
away with the points and a 2-0 win. The manager is looking forward and | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
hoping to make his third transfer signing of the next 24 hours. But | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
just as it the and Manchester United are still to come before the end of | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
the month. We will work at it. I know this is not going to be all | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
singing and dancing. I expected to be a tough job. It is so tight from | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
ten down. We will be competitive. Cardiff in the bottom three for the | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
first time in their Premier league life and Swansea are within three | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
points of the relegation zone after losing to Manchester United. | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
Ashleigh Williams has said he is concerned. If you have a good season | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
you can be eighth or ninth, if you have a bad season you are further | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
down. If you win two URL way. We have two win a couple of games, that | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
is how it is. The two sides face each other on February the 8th, who | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
comes out on top that they could be instrumental in the fight to stay | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
up. In rugby, there's a fresh injury | :22:00. | :22:02. | |

on his knee today after limping out of the Blues' Heineken Cup defeat | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
against Toulon. He's struggled with an injury to the same leg for most | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
of the season. But Gatland will be encouraged by the form | :22:18. | :22:21. | |

It comes from inside a whale and it could be worth a lot of money.the | :23:00. | :23:03. | |

out by whales, and which is still used in expensive perfumes. But | :23:08. | :23:11. | |

in articles but never seen the actual thing itself. Because it is | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
so rare it can also be valuable. Thing-mac is used to make perfume. | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
Nowadays there are alternatives but sailors used to call it floating | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
gold. It's comes from inside Wales. Scientists have examined the find | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
and say it seems to be genuine. Sperm whale is a tooth Wales so it | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
